A part of me wants none of you to see this.
A part of me wants to write all of this down
Then set fire to its pages.
I almost want to encourage all of you to do the same.
It's almost like a detox
Oh the most powerful of them all.
I want to strip my brain of the memories
And my skin of all your touches.
I want to write all of you down
And burn you as you have burned me
Over and over
Again and again
Like a plague in which my mind cannot find a vaccine.
You keep me up at night
With your laughter
And your charm
With the way your lies tastes so sweet.
I write all of this down
And I burn it to the last page
So none of you get the satisfaction of truly knowing everything about me.
But that's just a part of me
And how badly I want you all to know
The sharp edges of my heart
Creating by you
Perhaps they'll get to close to the thumping red of yours
Not close enough to maim
But close enough to give you a taste
Of what my heart knows
